It’s no coincidence that a good walk can leave you feeling like you’ve had a mental reset.

Research has linked time spent walking and in nature with lower stress, restored attention, increased creative thinking and improved wellbeing.

And while even 20 minutes outdoors can make a difference, four whole days gives you the chance to properly step out of your usual rhythm and settle into another one.

On the Southern Ocean Walk, that means days spent among the wild coastline, native bushland and wildlife of the Fleurieu Peninsula — with a warm bed, gourmet food and a glass of w**e waiting for you at the end of each day.

Maybe some familiar sayings stick around because they keep proving themselves true. A change of scenery really can do a remarkable amount of good!

Creature Feature: Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) 🦅

Australia’s largest bird of prey, the Wedge-tailed Eagle is a familiar sight across the Fleurieu Peninsula — and one we’re always excited to spot soaring over Deep Creek.

Females are the larger of the sexes, with wingspans reaching up to 2.3 metres, compared with around 1.9 metres for males. Still, they have the largest wingspan of any eagle in the world.

Younger wedge-tails begin life as a light reddish-brown, before gradually darkening with age until appear almost black.

Wedge-tails can live for more than 30 years and pair for life – only finding a new mate if their partner dies. Big ol’ monogamous love birds.

Pairs often maintain several nests within their territory, returning and adding to them over many years, with some nesting sites reportedly used for generations.

Here in Deep Creek, there are two known nesting sites: one among the rocky gullies of Deep Creek Cove and another in Campbell Gully.

You’ll often spot wedge-tails circling high overhead, riding the thermals as they scan the landscape below. It’s always a special moment when one appears above us on a walk.

Where were you the last time you spotted a Wedge-tailed Eagle?

Just two spots left on our Fleurieu Gourmet Tour, departing 21 September! 🍷🥾

Book with a friend and save $700!

The Fleurieu Gourmet Tour is for those who value regional food and w**e every bit as much as a beautiful landscape.

This guided Fleurieu experience combines gentle walking with visits to local producers, artisan tastings and carefully curated meals showcasing South Australian ingredients.

It’s a more relaxed alternative to our Southern Ocean Walk, while still giving you plenty of time outside exploring one of South Australia’s most beautiful regions.

With just two places remaining, these are quite literally the last seats at the table.

Happy first day of spring! 🌸

Spring on the Fleurieu means many things, but one of our favourites is the beginning of orchid season.

Along the Southern Ocean Walk, and particularly through Deep Creek, an incredible variety of native orchids begin appearing beside the trails — some much easier to spot than others.

Here are just a few to keep an eye out for, as pictured:

1. King Spider Orchid
2. Donkey Orchid
3. Sun Orchid
4. Rabbit Orchid
5. Leopard Orchid
6. Wax Lip Orchid
7. Greenhood Orchid
8. Gnat Orchid
9. Green-comb Spider Orchid

Which one’s your favourite?

🪨 Four days. Hundreds of millions of years.

When trekking the Southern Ocean Walk, it’s easy to be distracted by what’s happening above the horizon. Dolphins offshore, sea eagles overhead and the Southern Ocean stretching out beside you.

But there’s another story unfolding beneath your feet.

Much of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula is underlain by rocks formed around 500 million years ago — but that’s far from the most surprising chapter in its geological history.

From ancient marine environments to evidence of an ice age, every cliff, rocky outcrop, beach and valley has a story to tell.

Our lead guide Barry takes a closer look at the extraordinary geological history beneath the Southern Ocean Walk in our latest blog.
